At the end of last week in the USA started wide release of the biographical film "Steve jobs" directed by Danny Boyle, however, a successful first weekend difficult to call: with a budget of $30 million (excluding marketing and other costs), the film has collected in the homeland of co-founder Apple $7.3 million, which is a very low rate.

After the success of "Steve jobs" had on the results of limited demonstrations, predicted that in the early days of the show ribbon will collect $19 million, reports Apple Insider. As the newspaper notes, not helped by the fact that the screening was carried out in 2 thousand theaters. By the way, a similar "achievement" boasts "jobs" with Ashton Kutcher in the title role.

Some critics called the cause of the failure of the choice of actor: Michael Fassbender, in the opinion of the commentator of The Variety, is not well suited for the role of Steve jobs and mentions a recent image of the actor — Android from "Prometheus". To become commercially successful, "Steve jobs" need to collect cash at least $120 million, but that seems unlikely.
